Phoenixville School District Unable To Move Forward On Construction: Report
The district is waiting on budget crisis to see if they will receive a grant for road construction needed to build the elementary school.
PHOENIXVILLE, PA -- The battle continues over who should pay for the cost of a $4.6 million construction project in the the Phoenixville Area School District.
School officials are hoping the state will seek a grant, but it’s possible the state could also ask Phoenixville taxpayers to pay for the project, according to the Times Herald.
